  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Keeps perfect streak alive

    Sanders converted both of his field-goal tries and all four extra-point attempts during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cardinals.

    Sanders is now the only kicker in the league with at least 12 field-goal tries and zero misses, per Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site, and both his conversions during Sunday's contest came from 50 or more yards out. The third-year pro hasn't seen the sort of consistent weekly volume that propel him into the mix as a high-end fantasy option, but his accuracy nonetheless provides legitimate value.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes lone FG attempt in win

    Carlson made his only field-goal attempt from 31 yards and converted all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Chargers.

    Carlson's seven points marked a season low, but his field goal late in the fourth quarter turned out to be a victory-clinching kick as the Chargers were unable to find the end zone on their final drive. Carlson will look to maintain his consistent production Week 10 as the Broncos head to Las Vegas.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Panthers' Joey Slye: Misses two kicks

    Slye missed two of his three field-goal attempts but made all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Chiefs.

    Slye converted from 47 yards on his first field goal, but then hit the left upright from 51 yards and went wide right on a potential-record, 67-yard attempt as regulation expired. By making all four of his PATs, however, Slye managed seven points in total, his highest amount over the past three weeks.

  • Younghoe Koo K | NYJ

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Flawless in Week 9 win

    Koo made both of his field-goal attempts, including a long of 52 yards, also going 4-for-4 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 34-27 win against the Broncos.

    Koo continues to display consistency from deep range, improving to 3-for-3 on field-goal tries of 50-plus yards this season with his Week 9 performance. The Georgia Southern product has been enjoying a marvelous 2020 with the Falcons overall, as he's 21-for-22 on field goals this season after knocking down 23 of 26 tries in eight appearances for Atlanta last year. A sub-90 percent PAT rate the past two seasons provides room for improvement within Koo's game, but the 26-year-old is starting to look like a keeper for the 3-6 Falcons.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Connects from 54 yards

    Fairbairn successfully converted two of two field-goal attempts and all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 27-25 win over Jacksonville.

    One of Fairbairn's field goals was from long range, a season-high 54-yarder, his second boot from beyond 50 in 2020. The nine points was Fairbairn's highest total since Week 5, the last time Houston faced Jacksonville.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Converts on two field goals

    Boswell made both of his field-goal attempts while missing both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Cowboys.

    Boswell's day started on a low note as he missed his first extra-point try of the game with just over a minute remaining in the second quarter, but he converted on a 59-yard field-goal attempt to finish the first half. The 29-year-old had an extra-point try blocked early in the fourth quarter before converting on his final field-goal attempt of the contest. Boswell has now gone 11-for-11 on his field-goal attempts over the first half of the season, but he's converted on just 24 of his 27 extra-point tries.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Posts five points

    Santos converted a field goal and two extra-point attempts in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

    With Chicago's offensive line missing multiple starters, the team struggled to consistently move the football, resulting in a poor fantasy line for Santos. Although he's had a pair of strong performances over the past four weeks, he's been held to five points or fewer in four of his last eight games, making him a difficult player to trust in weekly lineups.

  • Jets' Sergio Castillo: Another start expected

    Castillo is expected to serve as the team's top kicker with Sam Ficken (groin) listed as doubtful for Monday's game, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Castillo is expected to make his third straight start in the absence of Ficken, who continues to be bothered by a nagging groin injury. Week 8 was a solid contest for the undrafted free agent as Castillo converted three of his four field-goal attempts, though he did see a kick blocked late in the first half.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Patriots' Nick Folk: Added to injury report

    Folk was added to the injury report Saturday with a back injury and is questionable for Monday's game against the Jets, Zack Cox of NESN.comreports.

    Folk was unable to practice Saturday, but the fact that he's just listed as questionable should give fantasy managers a bit of confidence regarding his game-time status. If Folk is unable to play, Justin Rohrwasser will likely be called up from the practice squad to fill in.

  • Matt Gay K | LV

    Matt Gay: Signed to practice squad

    Gay was signed to the Colts' practice squad Saturday.

    The kicker is yet to appear in a game as an official Colts player, though he's had two different stints on the team's practice squad. Darius Jackson was waived in a corresponding move.
